Project Assignment week 3

Create a web page presentation using R Markdown that features a plot created with Plotly.

Dataset

Iris

Variables Considered

I decided to use Iris dataset, because of its availability on R. I plotted three variables in a 3D scatterplot, colored by Species.

  • Sepal.Length
  • Petal.Length
  • Petal.Width

R Code

library(plotly)
data("iris")
head(iris)
  Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species
1          5.1         3.5          1.4         0.2  setosa
2          4.9         3.0          1.4         0.2  setosa
3          4.7         3.2          1.3         0.2  setosa
4          4.6         3.1          1.5         0.2  setosa
5          5.0         3.6          1.4         0.2  setosa
6          5.4         3.9          1.7         0.4  setosa
